  1. lol. Mons.
  2. He has had 3 years of offensive decline followed by 2 years of non-performance while doubling his pay. Good gig being a fat f*** if you can get it.
  3. lol
  4. Yup. League average or replacement level is a reasonable expectation. The guy just has never been that good a player. Period.
  5. I'd like Elston Howard back.
  6. Has anyone ever figured out what happened to Craig? He just fell off a cliff it seems. He says it has nothing to do with the foot injury. Too bad.
  7. I think that she was just too content getting laid every day.
  8. It is stupid to say chics dig the long ball. I think everyone enjoys a good dinger. It's exciting.
  9. Moon driving a car at those speeds and for that duration puts a lot of demand on both body and mind. I agree that it is not a conventional "sport" like football or baseball. It is an athletic endeavor non the less.
  10. The Preamble was pretty much a standard requirement when I was in school.
  11. Who the f*** mentioned G forces? Not me. My point is that because driving a hot car requires so much endurance and because it is so very competitive to even get a glimpse of pro driving pretty much only good athletes make the grade. If you do not know that then you just do not know that. It is fact. Anyone who has raced motor vehicles or follows racing is aware of it. Whatever.
  12. Pretty much, yes. I always refer to guys like Ross and Badenhop as examples of the type of guys that can be had. The past couple of years the Sox have purchased expensive pen pieces like Kimbrel, Smith, and the new kid what's his name. The throw stuff at the wall is a functional technique if you have remaining budget and space in the pen and in AAA.
  13. Probably not but when was the last time you saw a guy like Pablo flying an F-22? What a dumb analogy.
  14. This post wreaks of ignorance. Do you have any idea of how much physical stress is involved in driving a car 180 plus mph for several hours is? How about sitting in a 140 degree sauna for 4 hours? People knowledgeable about motor sports know how athletic today's drivers and riders need to be. It is very competitive to just get to the upper levels of motor sport competition. Today all the drivers are athletes. The stereotype of old time drivers with pot bellies and gray hair is no longer relevant. Motor racing is very much a sport. If you don't believe that then maybe you should try driving or riding in a race or even being a pit crew member. You would not last very long unless you were in very good athletic condition.
  15. Three months off from some duties as a teacher but parenting and home ownership are pretty significant responsibilities.
  16. That's what he is here for.
  17. They both suck.
  18. Yeah f*** that. I wanted him on the Sox but that is a little too much to sacrifice.
  19. Always nice to have that confirmed by a Woman.
  20. I am not a big golf fan but I have had two very positive golf experiences. In 1974 I attended a PGA Championship even at Pleasant Valley here in Sutton, Massachusetts. I saw Elder, Travino and all the rest. Holy s*** could they swat that ball. Tavino walked right by me, Bandaid and all. The other time was my first round of golf at the South Palm Beach Country Club ( public and very non-swanky ) in West Palm Beach, Florida. We had beers with us and it was a f***ing blast. I had one par in the front nine and was shocked. That game takes a lot of practice but the challenges and esthetics make it a really fun. I wish that I had taken the game up very young.
  21. Lol. I have The Golf Network or whatever in my cable package. I find myself watching now and then. Especially when there are several hot buxom Asian women playing and a cold breeze kicks up.
  22. It's one thing to project certain aspect of his performance based on what he has done to date and of course that sweet stroke and athleticism. He may become a truly great MLB player. It's entirely too early to compare him to Yaz who any way you slice it was one of the greatest players of all time.
  23. I'm 5'7" and can't hit for s***.
